Which is utter nonsense.

Cynicism is about looking beyond the surface, probing, doubting, questioning, and being aware that here are no simple answers.

Self interest is a frequent motivator, but saying it's the only one flies entirely in the face of what cynic philosophy is.
This study isnt really about cynicism in the philosophical sense. The average self-described cynic probably doesnt know who Diogenes is.
